Rosen's
late father and grandfather were musical performers.
Simon Rosen studied piano in his early childhood and performed
some in his early youth. After graduating from
the U.

in 1979, which he attended after seeing John Denver perform,
“Rocky Mountain High” on The Tonite Show, he attended law
school in San
Diego,
California.
In 1983, he became a licensed attorney at age 24, and quickly
became involved in music law by joining the Philadelphia
Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts. At age 25, he represented
legendary rock n roll manager David Krebs of Con-temporary
Communications (Aerosmith, The Scorpions, and many
others). Since then, he has strived to protect and
advance the rights of the music community.
His
artist client roster is as diverse as the music world itself-
Pop, R&B, Rock n Roll, Jazz, Blues, Gospel, and
more. He has worked with the greatest musical talents,
but also with those merely striving to eke out a living
performing music.
In
addition, Rosen has represented several recording
studios, publishers, songwriters, producers, arrangers,
and other music business folk. |
| His
professional associations include being an active member of the
National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences, an original
member of the Philadelphia Music Foundation, Songwriters Guild of
America, BMI, and Phila. Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts, and SPARS
(Society for Producers and Audio Recording Services)ios (all of the
major film studios are SPARS. In the
90's, Rosen authored a highly acclaimed column in urban music tip
sheet, "IMPACT", entitled: "LEGAL CORNER: SIMON
SEZ". Simon has lectured nationally
on a wide range of music business topics, including entertainment
law, copyrights, setting up your own record company, publishing,
urban music, production deals, joint venture label deals, putting
out your own CD, and management contracts.
In
December, 2004, he was called to lecture to approximately 200
attorneys on behalf of the Pennsylvania Bar Institute as part of a
continuing legal education program. To this day,
Attorney Rosen continues to focus his efforts in and around
music, the universal language of the world.
